…Writing is showbusiness for shy people…Lee Child QUOTES FOR WRITERS (and people who like quotes)

I agree. It’s also a way to reach more people.
You’re right – it’s both a performance and a way of connecting….glad you like this quote as much as I do.
Oh, that is so true
In Australia, we have a somewhat less kind saying that offers a small twist on this idea –
“Politics is showbusinness for ugly people.”
Like it! I suppose you could say that writing is show businness for people who don’t want to show their faces – but that’s becoming less and less true as publishers expect authors to take on the full promotional role. And, of course, indy novelists have to do it for themselves…
